        Earths biosphere was originally anerobic, the evolution of photosynthesis pretty much wiped out all life that existed at the time (though it was all bacteria at that point).

    One time I used the word “twat” around my girlfriend and she said “you’re pronouncing that wrong - it’s pronounced twah.” WTF? Turns out she thought when people used the word twat they were actually trying to use the French word toit. Why she thought people were trying to call other people roofs, I have no idea.
